Mister teuCs to move in curved liner,
taese being segments Of an incomplete
circle, and although fashions are scare ely
material yet as the conception of the
mind must fnd it's exponent in material
things, so the cipricious dame seq the
loveliest creations Of the loom to body
forth the thoughts that throng her busy
brain; yet IN obedience TO Medean law
SIZE moves in circle, as she moves the
revolutions showing such variety in COM
binstion IS leads TO forgetfulness that
these beauties have been, and shall be
again. As the panorama passes before
the eve brilliant colOripg ana pleasing
effect so beguile the senses that the
change has all the charm of novelty.
From now until December change,
change will be the law, for this OF
all seasons is the one Of novelties,
and this autumn is no exception. There
are even now some anticipatory glaDces
of winter novelties, but as yet nothing
positive, yet enough to give assurance
that of beauty in design and fabric there
will be no want.
There is an Indication that b2sques are
losing their popularity, and the polonaise
with basque front will be more worn
There is q tendency to corssges cut point
ed at the waist or round with gtrdle
AS this style can be only becoming &c
slender, long WASTED persons, 6 short
basque will be used by women whose
figures are the reverse. Dress-makerE
areSsS.L5d TO cut the irons OF these
= waists bias without front darts. WheI
this is done the under arm seam Is Sc
slightly forward and cut somewhat bias
and edges of the front are curved TO Fl
the figure that must of necessity bt
slender.
Sleeves Tor house dresses are still made
very elaborate. The Elizsbethsn style
is 8 favorite. This consists of q series o
puffs extending from the shoulder TO TIT
whist; another fashionable mode is +
plat in the fulness IL fine plaits from tn
armsize nearly to the elbow. there form
ing puff to De gathered into mode cut
at the wrist. For street dress, Goa
sleeves are slone admissible they are no
however, made as tight as formerly. Fo
demi-toilet, sleeves are worn composed o
rows of lace three or four inches In widt
encircling the arm, with bias bands @
satin between. This has the effect Q
shortening the arm, and are favored b.
those whose arms are OF disproportionat
length.
Underskirts of dresses are usual
plain, admitting, however, narrow foo
plating at the bottom, the generz
effect depending almost entirely on th
arrangement of the drapery. 1t is Whis
pered that there is TO be 4 return t
skirts hounced from top to bottom, bu
modistes and their patrons will part re
luctantly and slowly from q fashion tina
has fU- OEaR 40 M
q display of the artistic as does the draT
ing OF s modern dress. The front draper
is usually a full apron laid in plait
each side facing the front so that tn
front will fall 10 circular folds to II
foot of the skirt. It is advisable t
lightly tack these folds as they are apt t
fall 8 Fav. The bIck IS slightly bouffan
over the tournure and arranged 10 fall froT
there in strait plaits nearly to the bolton
of the underskirt. Sometimes when tn
suit is of two coloEs the skirt has eltei
nate wide plaits of each, and the from
drspery hangs in a poln
at the side, beng draw
back from the front by plaits at the Wais
near the center of the back under the bsc
drapery.
As winter comes on pleasant memorie
Of drawing rooms sligbt and pretty womel
in graceful tea gowns are revived
Whether it De the warm glow Of hospital
lily in pleasant homes coDtrasted with tn
cheerlessness outside, or whether it b.
there is something clsssically beautiful
in these gowns is difficult to decide, bu
true it is that, as our English cousin
would say, this costume Is very "tetch
ing" and women have come to regsrt
them as q necessity. Tea jackets ar
much worn and many of them are ex
tremely pretty, both in color and fashion
ing, India silk, gold and silver embroid
cry being used. Req sursh has black lsc'
to soften the glare, and robins egg blu'
with gold cord is charming. One recent
" shown modelled after Breton
PEASANTS holiday coat is unlqne
The jacket itself is Of pale terra cots
plush, the loose fronts being lined witt
salmon pink surah, and the turn bacl
collar and cuffs made Of bands OF en-
broidery in various shades Of terra colts
silk and gold thread on cream csnN =
A double band of this in front Of TIT
throat confines the closely gathered yes
of the salmon sursh, which is csught up
pouch fashion, higher one side than thu
other, some distance below the waist
where it is loosely confined by wide
quantity shsped belt of the embroidery.
A beautiful tea jscket is made o
creamy white plush, loose frOnted, bu
close fl ting at the back. It opens over ;
soft cream silk vest figured with tiny golC
flowers. The waist line is marked by
gold cord, the knotted ends Of which fal
over cream lace skirt. The jacket /!
edged with narrow gold cord, and Lace
rufies adorn the throat and sleeves.
Tulle is the tavorite material for even
ing wesr, and there seems to,be but little
change in style, as plain demi-train Skin
of silk or satin, entirely covered witt
pverskirts OF tulle, low bodice OF SILK snC
tulle drsped IN surplice style with epau'
lette sleeves of tulle being the mode.
There are far Of hints from the csplta
that our lady Of ths White House Will ln'
stitute the fashion of high necks. Sh
has shown womanly modesty in havln;
her own dresses cut high, and has thu
gently rebuked the wearers of the ex
IRENE decolette. 1t is possible her ex
ample will aid others IN reform bot
womanly and becoming, snd thus compe
the creators of costumes TO inaugurate
reign Of high necks, or at least more mod
est Low ones.
